Attack Helicopter

The Attack Helicopter in Rust is a formidable, player-controlled air vehicle designed for combat and transportation. A highly sought-after item, it can be acquired at the Air Wolf vendor in the Bandit Camp for 2250 scrap. This robust helicopter comes equipped with two seats, allowing one player to pilot and the other to operate its array of weapons.

The helicopter boasts a versatile turret on its underside, which can be fitted with various firearms and ammunition, providing a devastating tool against ground targets. The passenger is tasked with handling this turret, dictating where firepower is directed. Adding to its lethal capabilities, the attack helicopter carries two missile launchers linked to the same inventory. These launchers accept High Velocity and Incendiary rockets, which can be discharged in rapid bursts of up to six missiles for heavy assaults. Both the pilot and passenger can fire these missiles, with the passenger benefiting from a dedicated targeting screen to pinpoint the impact area.

For defensive measures, the helicopter is fitted with a compartment for Flares. The pilot can deploy these countermeasures using the Right Mouse Button (RMB) to divert attention from incoming Homing Missiles. However, it is crucial to note that these flares have no effect against SAM Sites, a detail that pilots must consider while navigating hostile skies.

Crafting an effective strategy using the Attack Helicopter requires coordination between the pilot and gunner, ensuring that they maximize its offensive and defensive systems. Pilots should practice maneuvering and deploying flares, whereas gunners should familiarize themselves with the targeting systems for accurate strikes. Both should remain vigilant of the fuel levels and potential threats from other players and automated defenses. Utilize the Attack Helicopter to dominate the Rust skies and rain down firepower upon your adversaries.
